Instructions

1 Combine the marinade ingredients with the sliced steak and refrigerate for 30
minutes. Combine all of the sauce ingredients and stir well.
2 Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or skillet over high heat and wait until it is smoking.
Add the scallions and very briefly stir fry them until they have some black
spots. Move to a plate with a slotted spoon. Add the onions and do the same with
them. You don't want them to cook very much, just get slightly tender and
charred. Add another tbsp of oil and do the peppers next. Move to the plate.
3 Heat a few more tbsp of oil super hot, and sprinkle a little cornstarch over 1/3
of the beef. Mix around and add to the pan. Do not move it to allow the side
touching the pan to get nice and browned. Stir occasionally until the meat is
just cooked through and is nice and seared. Remove to a plate and repeat with
the remaining batches of meat. Once it is all cooked, return everything to the
pan and add the sauce and the garlic. Cook briefly until it all hot and
bubbling. Serve over hot rice.
